WRAPPING AND LINING MEANS r03 Boxns Application filed December 6,1928. Serial No. 324,152.

The present invention relates to wrapping and lining means for boxes, and an object of the invention is to provide for combining the wrapping and lining means in such manner that the wrapping and lining of a box may be effected by machinery with a minimum number of operations. Another object of the invention is to provide lining means for the inner faces of the wall of a box in the form of extensions on those sections of the wrapping means covering the outer faces of the vertical walls.

To these and other ends, the invention consists of certain parts and combinations of parts all of which will be hereinafter described: the novel features being pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the box to be lined;

Fig. 2 is a plan view of one blank for covering the inner and outer'faces of the front and end walls of the box;

Fig. 3 is a plan View of a blank for covering the inner and outer faces of the rear wall of the box Fig. 4: is a longitudinal vertical section of a covered box;

V Fig. 5 is a transverse vertical section ofa covered box; and

Flg. 6 1s a perspective view of a covered b The box body illustrated is of the form commonly employed in cigar boxes comprising a bottom wall 1, front and rear walls 2 and 3, and end walls 4 projecting above the front and end walls to receive the lid or cover between them. The bottom wall 1 has, in this instance, apaper lining 5 which is applied to the sheet from which the bottom is out before the bottoms are formed there from.

The wrapping means, in this instance, comprises four sections 6, 7, 8 and 9, the sections 6, 7 and 8 being formed in one blank and being arranged end to end for covering the two end walls and the front of the box, the section 7 for covering the front wall being shorter in height than those portions covering the end walls. The sections for covering the end walls asw'ellas the section for covering the front :wall have portions 11 which coverthe upper horizontal ,edges of such walls. The'portion 11 on the section 7 is spaced from opposite ends of said section by slits 11 toprovide portions 11 for covering the edges of the adjacent end walls above the front wall. End or corner flaps 12 are provided on the end sections 6 for being adhesively secured to the outer face of the rear wall of the boxadj acentthe corners and having extensions 12? for covering the edge of the adjacent endi'wall above the rear wall. Each section6, 7' and 8 has at its bottom edge a flap extension 13 which will serve to edge the under face of the bottom wallofthe' box by being adhesively securedthereto. 'The section 9 of the wrapping means is applied to the rear wallafter the other blank is applied and has at its lower edge a flap '18 to The lining means includessections 14, 1 5,

l6 and 1 7 which are in the form of exten sions on the upper edges of the sections6, 7 8 and 9 respectively. Eachof the-extensions ll l, 15 and 16is less in width than its respective sections .6, 7 or 8, as the lengths of the inner faces of the walls towhich these sections areapplied "is less than the lengths of the outer faces,-with this exception, that the V extensions 14; and 16 are projected at their ends at 20ftocoverthefinner faces of the end; walls above the front and the rear vertical wall. The extension lining section 20v maybe the same in width'as the section 18 because the latter is not required to befas wide as the rearwall due to the fact that'the corner Iflaps 12 cover portions of the rear walla; i j j It is preferredfto -apply first the blank shown inFigQZ covering the front walls and the end Walls both ontheoutside and the inside and then toapply the blank shownin Fig. 3 to cover the rearwall both inside. and out. The. extensions 14, 15:, 16 and 17 arelong 10 V be adhesively secured to the bottom of the i blanks are formed, the entire box has a lined appearance.

What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: r

1. Combined wrapping and lining means for the side and end walls of a box in which the end walls project upwardly above the side walls, comprising a blank embodying three wrap sections connected end to end, for covering the end walls and a side wall, each of said sections having a portion for cover-' ing the upper edge of the corresponding wall, and the central section having extensions for coveringthe adjacent upwardly projecting end edges of the end walls, corner flaps at the opposite ends of the blank, for attachment to the outer face of the other side wall, and having extensions for covering the adj acent upwardly projecting end edgesof the end Walls, a liner extension on each wrap section, for covering the inner face of the corresponding wall, and a second blank embodying a wrap section for covering the outer face of the other side wall'between the corner flaps and in lapping relation to said flaps, said last-mentioned section having a portion for covering the upper edge of the corresponding wall, and a liner extension on said last-mentioned section, for covering the inner face of such corresponding wall.

2. Combined wrapping and lining means for the side and end walls of a box in which i V the end walls project upwardly above the side for attachment to the outer face of the other side wall, and having extensions for covering VALLAN A. ADAMSON.

the adjacent upwardly projecting end edges of the end walls, and three liner sections 7 spaced apart and forming extensions of vthe respective wrap sections, for coveringlthe inner faces of the corresponding walls, the liner sections for the end walls having extensions at their opposite ends, adjacent the corresponding wrap r sections, for covering -the inner faces of the end walls above the side walls, and a second blank embodying a wrap section for covering the outer face of the other side. wallxbetween said corner flaps and in lapping relation with said flaps, said lastmentioned wrap section having a portion for covering the upper edge of the corresponding
